Bizarre, weird, taboo or unorthodox books that you've read. - General

Generation P, the weirdest book I've ever read. It's about advertisment, trips after consuming fly agaric mushrooms and strange cult shit.

I thought Stitches was pretty fucked up.

I recently found a soviet propaganda book about religion. Soviets were overly atheistic and despised religion in every possible way. The book just makes me laugh now. "Gagarin flew over the clouds and didn't found God on them". What kind of argument is that?

[QUOTE=a dumb bear;30874511]In a "horror story" my brother was reading, a guy named his cat "nigger man". This is about a man who kidnaps a woman, then keeps her in his house with no form of contact to the outside world. It's pretty weird, as you can imagine. [img]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kbM0XaA7pn0/TCxGn0ShmZI/AAAAAAAAADM/YPaa1gTwOzM/s1600/The+Collector.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] The story with the cat named "niggerman" is The Rats in the Walls by HP Lovecraft. One of the first stories by him I'd read, and rather good. Fun fact: Lovecraft's cat was really named Niggerman. Rats in the Walls is about a guy who moves into his family's estate, and discovers that underneath is a gigantic cavern where his relatives lived and raised devolved humans as cattle, and ate them.

Children's books: [img]http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0141301120.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg[/img] Like most Roald Dahl books, it's weird as hell. There's a scene where Willy Wonka convinces Charlie that martians only eat Mars bars because "that would only make sense!" It weirded me out as a kid, much more than other Roald Dahl stories anyway. [img]http://ratedreads.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/whales-on-stilts.jpg[/img] I read this too. I picked it up because the cover was hilarious. It has a lot of humor based off of old serials and prods at a lot of clichés. There's still whales on stilts shooting laser beams from their eyes trying to take over the world though.

[QUOTE=Desolategrunt;30873726]That guy, Is, fucked up. His books are the wierdest shit ever. In one of them there's a 14 year old kid who swims to the bottom of the pool, puts his ass on the filter. (which sucks in water) He then procedes to jack off under water with the pressure on his ass, then he tries to leave, [highlight]BUT it's stuck to his intestines and pulls them out.[/highlight] The only way to survive was to bite it off. His parents find him naked with a long rope coming out of his ass on the deck. He can't eat anything that takes more than an hour to digest. Oh and to top it all off his sister gets pregnant from the semen in the pool. Try reading that when you are 12, it really fucks you up.

[QUOTE=Takuat;30894573]Meh It's not that weird. Still not read the fourth book in the series so I don't know about that. I dunno about you guys but I found some of the Darren Shan stuff freaky. Not the ones about the kid that's a vampire but The Demonata series. I mean look at the some of covers.

I've read whales on stilts, It's a really good and crazy book.

I want to read Mein Kampf.

[QUOTE=Super_Nova;30932990]I want to read Mein Kampf.[/QUOTE] EErrrhh... You need to have the "taste" for these kinds of "Auto-biography's" Also I think the few English translations that were made, are not that good. They don't make as much sense as the original German version.

[QUOTE=demoguy08;30917138]Burst out laughing first time I saw the cover in a store.

[QUOTE=Killuah;30895576]Marquis de Sade, a compilation. I tell you: most of the stuff posted here is nothing against it.[/QUOTE] 120 days of Sodom was the weirdest thing I have ever read. The content itself was fucked up enough but the way he described it in such a way that it seemed to arouse him made me feel creepy for reading it.

Mein Kampf. Very interesting, though it's written like his speeches. Have to be careful when reading it. [QUOTE=rakkar;31008994]And this one: [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9a/Abraham_Lincoln_Vampire_Hunter_Cover.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] I have that one, it's amazing.

[QUOTE=Omali;30868977][img]http://www.johndiesattheend.com/new/photos/newcover.jpg[/img] Incredibly strange book about dead people, a drug called soy sauce, and exploding Jamaicans who tell you your dreams for beer. The book is an odd mixture of horror and comedy, shitty puns, and scat humor. It has great characters and is very well written, the author writes for cracked.com. There is a second book being written, and Don Coscarelli (wrote/directed Bubba Ho-Tep) is making the movie.[/QUOTE] My name is in the back of that book because of a contest. :smug: I also tried to get a copy of the Australian version because the cover is cool as fuck, but no :( [img]http://johndiesattheend.com/new/photos/jdateauswinners.jpg[/img]

[img]http://img1.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/n1/n7401.jpg[/img] I'm not really a reader, but this was one of the first books I was able to actually read and stay interested through most of it. It's quite bizarre featuring one scene of skeleton rape. Still I reckon it's worth taking a look.

'If on a Winter's Night a Traveller' by Italo Calvino. Not neccisarily taboo or unorthodox, but novel enough to fit the "Wierd" bill for some. Also a damn good read.

[QUOTE=Loli;31018264]Pretty sure this is being adapted to a film. I saw it on IMDB somewhere.[/QUOTE] It says right there in the post you quoted.

Read Lolita. I never read it until a few years ago, and it's the greatest book I have ever read. I'm going back and reading a lot of classics (like Catch-22, Catcher in the Rye, Call of the Wild, Pride & Prejudice, The Sound and the Fury, etc.) and none of them gets close. Anybody who disparages Lolita as smut or youth-corrupting literature has either never read it, or is retarded.

Naked Lunch... god damn that's a crazy book, but I couldn't stop reading it.
